We could probably revise the parts under the mission statement to be a wee bit more humble, and more focused on our vision, which is rightly an amalgam of experiences with existing tools and solutions? |

I've taken the wording from the new hugo site about us page. How do you think that fits? |

| Most Linux distributions follow the [Filesystem Hierarchy Standard](https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.pdf) which sets the structure for all files and directories on a Unix-like system. In traditional FHS based Linux distributions, package files can be installed to multiple directories, these can be directories or files that users may interact with (such as config files). | ||

| In AerynOS, packages are forbidden from containing any files outside of /usr directory. The /usr directory exclusively belongs to the system with the user not intended to make any changes in this directory what-so-ever. Files written under the /usr directory by a user will get removed (or reverted) the next time the system is updated. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would prob add something about the user being able to go back to factory defaults and that /etc overwrites are still a thing.
Update with additional context that deleting configuration files from `etc` will essentially revert an install back to factory defaults. Also add ` around directories such as `/usr` and `/ect`
